Battle of Trung Nghia

The Battle of Trung Nghia was a battle of the Vietnam War which was fought from 8 June to 16 September 1973.

In January 1973, during the War of the Flags, the North Vietnamese NVA occupied the villages of Trung Nghia and Polei Krong in the Central Highlands of South Vietnam, threatening the ARVN base of Kontum. The NVA then launched an attack on ARVN bases near Kontum, and both sides suffered heavy losses while taking and retaking embattled positions. The NVA sustained heavy bombardment at Trung Nghia, weakening their force before they were forced out by a final assault on 1 September 1973, with some of their defending units suffering as high as 60% casualties. On 16 September, Polei Krong was also recaptured by the ARVN, clearng the area of NVA.
